You Can't Fail Me Now |
| I know that fan is moving air |
| I can see it in your hair |
| But I can’t bear to breathe it in somehow |
| I’ll rise and fall with you |
| 'Cause you can’t fail me now |
| I’ll rise and fall with you |
| 'Cause you can’t fail me now |
| Salt as sweet upon my mouth |
| Dark throw sparks against my house |
| The stain of love’s a smudge upon my bride |
| But you see through me And you can’t fail me now |
| You see right through me And you can’t fail me now |
| I’ve bit off more than I can chew |
| It’s something that I tend to do And fewer words are what we need and how |
| You bite my tongue |
| And you can’t fail me now |
| I ran too real |
| But you can’t fail me now |
| I lost the faith among the vines |
| And hung myself in story lines |
| I tell the tales I never would allow |
| God knows the name of every bird |
| That fills my mind like angry words |
| But you know all my secret heart of vows |
| We’re taught to love the worst of us And mercy more than life |
| But trust me mercy’s just a warning |
| Shot across the bough |
| I live for yours and you can’t fail me now |
| I live for your mercy, you can’t fail me now |
| You can’t fail me now |
